d3 partners with Al Tayer Group for mentorship programme

Two major design and fashion entities have come together in a new collaborative effort to celebrate and nurture home-grown talent.

Dubai Design District (d3) and Al Tayer Group have announced their new partnership, which will see the creation of a new mentorship programme. Designed to support local talent as well as provide a platform to showcase their works, the partnership will culminate in an exclusive event this Fall/Winter. Think collections that will be presented through a new and unique narrative concept.

Covering multiple disciplines including fashion and design, the new programme will tap into the expertise of Al Tayer Group's luxury fashion experts Jolanta Parlstam and Philip Antony Jones who will offer advice and feedback, from design to branding and pricing. "We are impressed with the local design talent we met at d3 and hope that our experience will be of value to the designers as they complete their collections to showcase at Meet d3 in December," said Jolanta Parlstam, Vice President of Merchandising – Luxury Fashion at Al Tayer Group.
